If you are considering a home birth, desiring a more peaceful and personalized birth environment, or dreaming of welcoming your baby in the comfort of water, you deserve care that honors both safety and experience. My name is D. Starr Robins, CPM, and I bring over 15 years of experience supporting birthing people and families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period with calm, informed, and compassionate care. I am a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) providing holistic, evidence-based midwifery care rooted in respect for physiologic birth, informed choice, and family autonomy. I serve families throughout the Hampton Roads area with comprehensive care that integrates clinical skill, emotional presence, and culturally responsive support. My professional background includes four years of formal midwifery training along with extensive experience as a birth and postpartum doula, monitrice, and perinatal wellness specialist. This foundation allows me to combine skilled clinical assessment with continuous, relationship-centered care throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum transition. I am currently awaiting state licensure and accepting clients with anticipated care beginning upon licensure approval. My approach centers on safety, education, and partnership, ensuring families feel confident, respected, and deeply supported throughout one of life’s most transformative seasons. My goal is to provide personalized midwifery care that honors the physiology of birth while meeting the unique needs of each family I serve.

Starr is so much more than a birth doula! She is like family. We met before I had my baby and mentioned I wanted to get my hair braided before I went into labor and she said she's a licensed cosmetologist too, so I asked her to braid my hair at our next appointment and she did not disappoint! Then at the birth she was so knowledgeable and understanding. Me and my family definitely felt safe and secure with her by our side.

While photographing my first home birth in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2014, I naturally found myself playing the role of doula between shots. I signed up for official training the next day and never looked back. Soon after doula training, I earned a Certification in Lactation Counseling (CLC) and began helping mothers struggling with feeding issues. I have had the opportunity to work with hundreds of babies in various settings, with varying feeding challenges, and a wide range of feeding goals. Phelicia welcomes families of all dynamics, ethnicities, and backgrounds, supporting births at home, in-hospital, medicated or unmedicated, planned, and unplanned cesareans.

Recent review

I loved having Phelicia as my doula. She helped me create my birth plan, prep for breastfeeding, pumping, and bottles, and feel at peace about delivery and nursing. Even though I ended up having a cesarean due to breech presentation, she came to the hospital and was ready to help in any and every way in post-op (with care for me, baby's first latch, advice, etc.). She was wonderful at following-up with us regularly, checking in, giving advice, etc., while also giving us space to enjoy being first-time parents. She was a fantastic lactation consultant and helped us navigate our little one's tongue tie with so much wisdom. I highly recommend her for birth and lactation support. If we have another child in the DC area, I will not hesitate to hire her again.

I’m a Certified Doula and a Registered Nurse with a background in High Risk Obstetrics, Infertility and Women’s Health. I hold an BSN in Nursing and I became a certified Doula in 2023. I am a wife and a entrepreneur. While experiencing my own struggles with infertility, I have come to find that the experience of pregnancy and childbirth have always been important to me. As a nurse and community advocate, I have been disheartened by the maternal- fetal mortality and morbidity rates among minority women in the U.S. I want to combat these increasing rates by helping women achieve their utmost and most desirable birth experiences by provider birth planning, childbirth education, labor and postpartum support. Whether you are planning for a natural labor at home or a more medically assisted birth in a hospital, I am will be there to assist in the birth experience you deserve! My personal mission is to support and advocate for childbearing women of any age.

Wanda is amazing! I had my daughter in my late 30 thirties and experience many complications. I don't know how I would have made it without Wanda. The care she took in explaining things to, helping me reduce my stress, helping me to prepare for my daughters birth was a blessing. She continued this care well after I had my daughter. Wanda provided, additional breast feeding support and guidance. With Wanda you are with family. She cares about you and takes every steps necessary to endure a successful birth and mom after. What an amazing soul!!

They focus on empowering women through personalized prenatal, birth, and postpartum support, ensuring a family-centered birthing experience with minimal interventions. Their dedicated team offers individualized care to enhance the natural birthing process, supporting both mother and baby.

Recent review

To have Chelsea Shira as my midwife was a dream! She gave us so much space to be as minimal as we desired, and if something came up where we needed tests/info/intervention she was fully equipped and able to get us connected to where we needed to be. I’ve delivered two home births with Chelsea and both times I was amazed with her peaceful disposition during labor, and extreme expertise during crucial situations. With our 2nd homebirth my 11 lb son had shoulder dystocia and I was so thankful for the knowledge, skill and critical thinking she expressed in those crucial moments. Additionally, my son came out not breathing for several minutes and she was able to administer oxygen and resuscitate him. In moments like those when every minute is so precious, I’m deeply grateful for a midwife like Chelsea who was there to support us and take real action. My words can’t express enough how incredible my experience with Chelsea is and how thankful I am for the way she practices. Very communal and home spun, yet seriously equipped with life saving knowledge when you need it!

I am a Certified Birth Photographer and Certified Full Spectrum Doula serving Denver, Colorado and surrounding areas. My love for birth started at a young age, but it wasn't until I birthed my daughter that I found my passion. I believe that everyone's pregnancy journey and birth story matters. You will carry your experience with you for the rest of your life. As your doula and birth photographer, it is my responsibility to support you, advocate for you when necessary, and document the beautiful moments of your birth. ​ I believe that birth is natural and all about trusting yourself, your body, and the process. I also believe that it is your right to determine what the best birth is for your family. I offer support for all types of families. I am also bilingual (Spanish/English). It does not matter if you are having a home birth or a scheduled cesarean. My main goal is to ensure that you have all of the information you need in order to make an informed decision. No matter what decision you make, I will always have your back. ​ As a parent who has just recently gone through my own pregnancy and birth journey, I understand how lonely it can feel. Know that you are never alone. I will be there to listen whenever you need to talk to someone about how you feel or you just need to release your emotions. I will believe in you even when you don't. You are strong, capable, and powerful. And I'll be there to remind you every time you doubt yourself.

Carla was an absolute angel during my pregnancy and birth experience. She provided unwavering support and guidance every step of the way, ensuring that I had the tools needed for the entire process. Her calm demeanor and extensive knowledge of childbirth made me feel safe, and I truly couldn't have done it without her. I would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a compassionate doula.

Rachael Dailey

Hi, I’m Rachael! I am a mom of three not-so-little kids (ages 21, 16, and 13), and a military spouse of 17 years, so I know a little about having to build your own village. I am a certified labor doula, postpartum and bereavement doula, to be a part of that village in your life. After walking alongside three families as a gestational carrier, I found my calling in nurturing others through the many paths of parenthood. I have always been passionate about pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and all things baby, so I knew I wanted to find my place in the birth world. I am certified through Birth & Baby University and currently training with StillBirthday to offer a well-rounded education along with my personal experiences with pregnancy, birth, and parenting. I offer gentle, hands-on support during birth, the postpartum period, and in times of pregnancy or infant loss. Whether you're preparing for a joyful delivery, adjusting to life with a newborn, or grieving a loss, I want to be the one to walk beside you, hold space for your experience, and offer the support you deserve. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll usually find me at home hanging out with my husband, our kids, and three dogs. In my spare time, I love being in the garden, on my yoga mat, or curled up with my knitting and a good movie.

Recent review

I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough. From the very first meeting, she made me feel heard, supported, and completely confident in my birth choices. Her knowledge, calm presence, and unwavering encouragement were invaluable throughout pregnancy, labor, and delivery. During labor, she was an absolute anchor—offering comfort measures, gentle guidance, and reassurance exactly when I needed it most. She knew when to step in with suggestions and when to simply be a steady, calming presence. Because of her, I felt empowered, informed, and never alone during one of the most intense and meaningful experiences of my life. If you are looking for a doula who is compassionate, professional, and truly invested in your well-being and birth experience, I wholeheartedly recommend her. Having her by my side was one of the best decisions I made for my birth.

Aniyla Palmer

Hi, my name is Aniyla and I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula and newborn care specialist. I created my own business called Rainbow Light with the intention of bringing a sense of belonging, peace, love, and light to women before, during, and after their pregnancy journey. To me, a rainbow represents joy, faith, and promise—a reminder that even in uncertain moments, there is beauty and purpose. At Rainbow Light, my goal is for every woman—of every shape, size, and color to feel welcomed, valued, heard, and deeply cared for throughout her journey. My motto is to bloom in care and beam in love. I want to create a space where you can feel balanced, supported, and able to truly flourish. From a young age, my passion has always been rooted in caring for women, babies, and families. I believe in the strength of the female body and the importance of nurturing and listening to it throughout every stage. Every journey is different, and just because your rainbow may not look like someone else’s does not make it any less beautiful, meaningful, or important. Your experience matters. I am so excited to begin this journey and connect with so many beautiful “rainbows” along the way 💛 Be blessed and bright 🌈 Disclaimer* Please note that at this current time I am in the process of setting up different insurance plans I will take. This does take a while to complete so unfortunately I am not currently able to take that form of payment until further notice. Thank you for your patience.

Aniyla created such a calm, supportive space during our first prenatal visit. She listened without judgment, explained everything clearly, and made me feel confident going into this journey. I already feel more prepared and supported. Her soul truly radiates light and ease. She makes me feel calm even with my pregnancy anxiety. Truly a great listener and a very naturally nurturing young woman! You can tell it is her passion rather than just a career.

Shantella was great throughout the process of my pregnancy. She made it much easier physically, mentally and emotionally! We met a little later into my pregnancy but she stepped up & made me comfortable as ever in every way possible! During my labor she was there the whole way, never left my side and she talked & comforted me through the entire delivery 😭 now that we’re home she’s been doing visits, being a BIG help and just making sure my baby and I are okay. She’s been a very important piece to my puzzle and I’m so grateful for her! Thanks Shantella, I’ll definitely be recommending you to everyone I know love !!!

As a mother of five, healer, and birthkeeper, I bring over 22 years of experience caring for infants and young children, starting at age 13 when I cared for my nephew. As the youngest of seven siblings, I welcomed my first child, my “soul twin,” at 15; we share the same birthday, deepening our bond. I am dedicated to empowering women through holistic, nurturing, and informed birth experiences. I am the visionary founder of She Who Births All, Inc offering birth planning, herbal wellness, lactation support, and spiritual birth preparation. I also founded Bee Haven Holistic Health and Wellness Clinic, committed to whole-family care from infancy through end-of-life. With training as a Board-Certified Doctor of Natural Medicine (DNM), Doctor of Holistic Health (DHH), and Master Herbalist, I blend ancient wisdom with modern care. Currently, I study midwifery at Mercy In Action College of Midwifery. Whether birthing at home, a center, or hospital, I honor your vision with compassion and holistic support.

Dr. Burton has truly been a life saver for me and my family. After two years of trying to convince myself to seek the right kind of care, I finally found her, and I’m so grateful I did. She cared not only for me, but also for my husband and our two children when she was practicing in Indiana. She was my doula for both my very first birth and my last birth, and I couldn’t have imagined having anyone else by my side. Her presence, guidance, and support made all the difference for me and my family during those sacred milestones. Although I was saddened to hear that she was closing her Indiana location and relocating to the DMV area, I completely understand her decision as she continues advancing her education and completing her clinical preceptorship. While she now focuses specifically on Women’s Health and Maternity, I’m happy to know that I can still continue with her as a Telehealth patient. Meeting Dr. Burton in Indiana was a blessing for our household. Her compassion, knowledge, and dedication to holistic care have made a lasting impact on our health and well being. Even though her practice has shifted, I remain grateful that she was part of our journey and look forward to continuing my care with her in this next chapter.
